From the Windom Register, March 1, 1940:
BABY DIES IN SLEEP
The tiny seven weeks old June Carole, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Lantaff, died during her sleep on Saturday night. The baby was very small at birth and had not been real strong but was thought to be getting along all right. On Saturday the baby seemed as usual and it was a great shock to her mother on awakening early Sunday morning to discover the baby, just a bud of humanity, had departed this life while she slept. A service was held at Granville, Iowa on Sunday and interment was there. This was the former home of the family before coming to Windom.
